Springbank 16 yo (1991/2007), Rum Wood, 54,2%

Review #546

This is
from the series “Wood Expressions” and 5100 bottles were made. Sweet overripe
plums in the smell. Some oak and sugars. Very sweet indeed! Some fruity
sweetness in the end.

So sweet at
first in the taste. The Rum really shines through, and the alcohol kick you get
fits the whisky perfectly! Some brown sugar in the finish. The oak lies, with
just a hint of tannins, in the background. Some sweet raisins as well.

If you
enjoy Rum and sweet Springbank whiskies, then you probably would love this! The
smell was a bit too much for me (Rum wise), but the rest was almost perfect!
Not that I didn’t enjoy the smell! I will rate this 89/100 (21/23/23/22).
